Abstract

5ynovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumour, which
makes up to 10% of ali soft tissue sarcomas. lt most often affects
young adults and is commonly found in periarticular sites of the extremities.
SS may occur in other locations, including head and neck,
heart, abdominal wall, mediastinum, and lung. Synovial sarcomas
of the head and neck are rare, representing 10% of ali synovial
sarcomas, and are typically localising in the hypopharynx or parapharyngeal space. Two cases are presented, and both treatment and follow-up protocols are discussed.
